It's Derry and no, I'm not your pal.

Not surprised at this. SF well known for their Twitter antics.

The only question left is does he reply to himself on boards?

Or does he just thank his other accounts when they post something he agrees with?

You are pronouncing it incorrectly. The "London" is silent.

do ye doubt for a second that the same person/people operating multiple twitter accounts on behalf of SF arent here on boards all day every day doing the same thing?

Shinnerbots infiltrated boards at one point. They are still here, hiding in the long grass, but not as prominent thank god.

Is that not the very definition of the well known and very real phenomenon the Shinnerbot"

Not as big a faux pas as Mary Lou McDonald strutting in behind that England out of Ireland banner though.

And then the said Mary Lou " Chucky" condemns the violence in Derry while the Sinn Fein shop continues to sell T shirts emblazoned with " tiochfaidh ar La", and Armalite rifle images.

That derogatory and dismissive term used to group certain posters, freely expressing their views, says more about those using the term, their concern for the support for political views they dislike, and their disregard for free expression of views, than they might like to or admit or are even aware of.

I dont know. Even on boards we all have multiple accounts and we have made similar slips a times. Its just the nature of modern social media profiles.
Let he that is without sin etc.

Ah, wha’? I’ve closed accounts but never had more than one at a time.

no it says a lot about the genuine and quite reasonable imo assertion that sinn fein are sponsoring multiple accounts on this site and that boards policies dont allow anyone to say it for some reason

Did it ever occur to you that there is just a number of persons here who are SF voters?

I’m sure there are SF supporters on this website - some people do fall for their populist nonsense and hurler on the ditch approach to politics.

There are 2 or 3 ‘20 hours a day’ merchants around though. Spouting the SF mantra from early at morning to late at night. Single issue posters. I don’t believe they are getting anything from SF - they just strike me as losers who are unencumbered with having to work, raise a family, or leave the house that often. Most people can identify these lads, dude.

If a lad is spending his time multiquoting people to death from 7 am in the morning to 1am the next day then he almost certainly doesn’t have a job, partner, or family. At least they are getting up early I suppose- not an action I would associate with some SF supporters.

he likely does have all of those. perhapse he is on a day off or is on his holiday leave. he could also be on a slow day at work so have a bit of time to come on boards. many people in work come on here during work time.

False 'grass roots' . The Americans refer to it as "Astroturf" "New" labour used them extensively in local press across Britain.

So you had seen it before yet feigned ignorance on what political party's get up to with shiling/Frape rooms and PR spin machine's?

Did you just post something about people being disingenuous

Oops.

Jesus, unbelievable as it may seem, I just used the "Google this image" function on that photo of the frape room, and it brought me straight to an article, only five days old....

It puts comments like this

into context.


'We Don’t Want To Make It Obvious It’s Coming From Us’

“Leaked WhatsApp messages seen by The Sunday Business Post show that dozens of Fine Gael staff and activists were told by the party’s digital team to reword suggested questions ‘in your own voice’ as ‘we don’t want to make it obvious it’s coming from us’.

“They were also told to avoid using email addresses with either Fine Gael or Young Fine Gael in them.”

RumpyPumpy and RayBloodyPurchase also posted it, neither of whom were/are synonyms for a certain scatological poster in this thread, of course. I see he was being derided earlier in the thread and suddenly he was thanked by a new, eh, Russian poster and a quick check and the, eh, Russian account had just been set up today. At least we've thus far been spared a full-blown "pal" "compadre" discussion between his two aliases in this thread... so far. Beyond a joke.

Nail on the head. He proudly identified himself in that photograph, I've no grá for the Shinners but his agenda is blatantly obvious.

Ye are paranoid, lads. And dead wrong as well. I think some of you are suffering from a case of taking things too seriously. Might want to cool the jets, and take a chill pill. Lighten up. It’s only the interwebs.
